She rests her hand against his neck, feeling the warmth beneath his mane as he leans into her touch. There is something remarkable about such strength held so gently, a quiet understanding between horse and human. This substantial silver medal carries that affection in sculpted detail, a small tribute to an animal with an enormous presence.

Dating to 1946, this sterling silver Shire Horse Society medal by Mappin & Webb makes a striking equestrian pendant. One face depicts a group of powerful horses beneath the words “Shire Horse Society,” while the other shows a draped rider carrying a staff, the horse’s raised foreleg and flowing tail lending movement to the scene. “Mappin & Webb London” appears beneath the mounted figure. The softly textured background contrasts beautifully with the raised silver relief, and a generous suspension ring completes the design. Measuring 63 millimeters long overall by 44.4 millimeters wide and 4 millimeters thick, it weighs a substantial 47.33 grams. Its hallmarks include the Birmingham anchor, the date letter “W” for 1946, the silver standard lion mark, and the maker’s mark “Mp&Wb.”

For the person whose heart has always belonged a little to horses, a handsome piece of silver to keep that connection close.
